If they remake Star Wars "A New Hope" who should star in it?

If they remade the original Star Wars trilogy today (who knows,

when it's 50 years old!) who play the principle characters?

Luke Skywalker = Mark Hamill = ???
Han Solo = Harrison Ford = ???
Princess Leia = Carrie Fisher = ???
Obi-Wan Kenobi = Alec Guinness = ???

No one. That movie is fine as is & shouldn't have been changed from the original in the first place.

Luke Skywalker = Mark Hamill = Seth Rogen
Han Solo = Harrison Ford = Ryan Reynolds
Princess Leia = Carrie Fisher = Anna Faris
Obi-Wan Kenobi = Alec Guinness = Bruce Willis

just kidding. If going with big name stars instead of no-names (which may be better) probably more like:

Luke Skywalker = Mark Hamill = Andrew Garfield or Josh Peck (two newish young actors)
Han Solo = Harrison Ford = Billy Crudup or maybe Johnny Depp if skewing youngish. Hugh Jackman or Aaron Eckhart if going for a slightly older vibe.
Princess Leia = Carrie Fisher = Kristen Stewart (she was in twilight)
Obi-Wan Kenobi = Alec Guinness = Russel Crowe (with age makeup, natch)

They should never remake the first Star Wars.
 
It was unfair to choose no best answer
Most of these answers are reasonable. The question itself is strange, asking for an opinion on casting. Why did the questioner put up a big tip and then refuse to choose?

If these movies were ever remade, I think they should use all Digital actors, based on the original appearances of the original actors. Lets have a young Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker again and a young Harrison Ford as Han Solo. Do it to all the characters, but re-shoot the scenes with todays Digital technology. Look at movies like Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within and Beowulf. These movies are gorgeous and they can show us things we could never make with real props! Also, it would be a huge fix to the Muppet looking Yoda and the Ewoks would probably look better!

How about we keep things simple and,

Princess Leia = Carrie Fisher = Natalie Portman
Obi-Wan Kenobi = Alec Guinness = Ewan McGregor
For Luke and Han, I think we should go with young, unknown actors which is what basically happened with original New Hope

It seems a little confusing for Natalie Portman to play her previous character's daughter, doesn't it?

I think they should just use clones of the original actors. Or the actors themselves after they go through the age reversivication process, some may have picked up a few more acting skills over the years.
peace,
joe
